Mosaic Dragon Flies
As I look out my window at a world covered with snow, dragonflies seem as like a dream from a different time.
Dragonflies are such interesting creatures. I had fun making both of these. In the one with the flowers I was trying to express the tie between the flowers of the field and this unique insect. The other I was enjoying the color and the use of various shapes to denote the very prismatic way light seems to glisten on the body and wings of a dragon fly.
I drew several sketches to make the wooden base cut out. You can see that the two are flipped versions of the same pattern. I may try to make the point where the wings join the body thinner next time.
